Villazan is pleased to present Edgar Plans' drawings and sculpture presentation entitled "I am a dreamer".
The presentation features a series of exclusive original sketches of the two large-scale "The Dreamer" sculptures on display at Columbus Circle, sketches, drawings, and notes from his collection of NFTs, and the sketches of the limited edition sculpture.
Titled "The Dreamer,” the sculpture depicts a child gazing skyward, serving as a testament to the enduring power of human imagination and the unyielding spirit of hope. At the heart of the sculpture, the child's dog stands dutifully by his side, symbolizing unwavering companionship and support on the journey of life. Together, they form a heartwarming tableau that evokes a sense of unity, determination, and friendship. A second version of the sculpture, standing roughly 5 feet tall, will also be placed on the second floor overlooking the Great Room of The Shops at Columbus Circle.
